It is your responsibility to stay on top of your application process. You will be able to monitor your application status under your mySAIT account. If you change your preferred program, you can cancel your application through mySAIT any time before your spot is confirmed. 

Based on the transcripts and documents we receive, your application will be evaluated and assigned a decision. Decisions aren't final and your application will be re-evaluated as it progresses through the admission process. When you submit updated documentation or progress through the competitive entry selection process, your application decision will be updated.


You can choose up to two programs per application. Please make note of the following before choosing your programs.

  • Both programs you choose must be the same application type and in the same term.
  • The first program you choose will be considered your first preference.
  • Choose your second preference in the same application by selecting Next Program.
  • We will only evaluate your first preference - your second, third or later preferences for the term will not be evaluated unless an earlier application is waitlisted or declined.
  • If the same program is chosen more than once – on the same or different applications – we will only evaluate this if it is identified as your first preference. Subsequent applications for the same program will be deleted.
  • If you accept an offered seat all other applications will be cancelled.
  • We will not cancel your first choice if it is waitlisted. Review Apply to learn more about application preferences.

 

After your application is evaluated, your decision will be updated to one of the statuses below:

 

Missing documents

Missing documents means we have not received the transcripts/documentation required for a decision to be assigned to your application. Review your application checklist to see the admission requirements needed for the program.

Pending evaluation

The meaning of pending evaluation may differ depending on the term you applied for, the program and whether you’re an international or domestic applicant.

Domestic applicants

This status is applied to applications for programs not identified as your first preference.

International applicants for Spring 2023 

This status means we have received and are assessing documents confirming your international education. We will assign this to application for the following programs.

  • The two-year Business Administration diploma.
  • The two-year Hospitality and Tourism Management diploma
  • Any program from the School for Advanced Digital Technology

Please Provide sufficient evidence verifying you are currently enrolled or plan to complete a course required for admission. We will use this information for admission until we receive the results of your transcript/document evaluation.

Qualified waitlist means you are qualified for admission to the program but have been placed on a waitlist. You will be offered admission to the program if a seat becomes available.
